1. Catalyze only thermodynamically possible reactions
2. Are not used or changed during the reaction.
3. Don’t change the position of equilibrium and direction of the reaction
4. Usually act by forming a transient complex with the reactant, thus stabilizing the transition state

Coenzymes
• Coenzymes act as group-transfer reagents
• Hydrogen, electrons, or groups of atoms can be transferred
Coenzyme classification
(1) Metabolite coenzymes - synthesized from common metabolites
(2) Vitamin-derived coenzymes - derivatives of vitamins
Vitamins cannot be synthesized by mammals, but must be obtained as nutrients

Vitamin-Derived Coenzymes
•Vitamins are required for coenzyme synthesis and must be obtained from nutrients
•Most vitamins must be enzymatically transformed to the coenzyme
•Deficit of vitamin and as result correspondent coenzyme results in the disease
![Page 9: Common features for enzymes and inorganic catalysts:](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813a71550346895da269b6/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Enzymes active sites
Active site – specific region in the enzyme to which substrate molecule is bound
Substrate usually is relatively small molecule
Enzyme is large protein molecule
Therefore substrate binds to specific area on the enzyme
![Page 15: Common features for enzymes and inorganic catalysts:](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813a71550346895da269b6/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Characteristics of active sites
Specificity (absolute, relative (group), stereospecificity)
Small three dimensional region of the protein. Substrate interacts with only three to five amino acid residues. Residues can be far apart in sequence
Binds substrates through multiple weak interactions (noncovalent bonds)
There are contact and catalytic regions in the active site
![Page 16: Common features for enzymes and inorganic catalysts:](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813a71550346895da269b6/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Active site contains functional groups (-OH, -NH, -COO etc)
Binds substrates through multiple weak interactions (noncovalent bonds)
![Page 17: Common features for enzymes and inorganic catalysts:](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813a71550346895da269b6/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Theories of active site-substrate interaction
Fischer theory (lock and key model)
The enzyme active site (lock) is able to accept only a specific type of substrate (key)
![Page 18: Common features for enzymes and inorganic catalysts:](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813a71550346895da269b6/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Properties of Enzymes
Specificity of enzymes
1.Absolute – one enzyme acts only on one substrate (example: urease decomposes only urea; arginase splits only arginine)
2.Relative – one enzyme acts on different substrates which have the same bond type (example: pepsin splits different proteins)
3.Stereospecificity – some enzymes can catalyze the transformation only substrates which are in certain geometrical configuration, cis- or trans-
![Page 19: Common features for enzymes and inorganic catalysts:](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813a71550346895da269b6/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Sensitivity to pHEach enzyme has maximum activity at a particular pH (optimum pH)
For most enzymes the optimum pH is ~7 (there are exceptions)
![Page 20: Common features for enzymes and inorganic catalysts:](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813a71550346895da269b6/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
-Enzyme will denature above 45-50oC
-Most enzymes have temperature optimum of 37o
Each enzyme has maximum activity at a particular temperature (optimum temperature)
Sensitivity to temperature
![Page 21: Common features for enzymes and inorganic catalysts:](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813a71550346895da269b6/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Naming of EnzymesCommon names
are formed by adding the suffix –ase to the name of substrate
Example: - tyrosinase catalyzes oxidation of tyrosine; - cellulase catalyzes the hydrolysis of cellulose
Common names don’t describe the chemistry of the reaction Trivial names
Example: pepsin, catalase, trypsin.
Don’t give information about the substrate, product or chemistry of the reaction
![Page 22: Common features for enzymes and inorganic catalysts:](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813a71550346895da269b6/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Principle of the international classification
All enzymes are classified into six categories according to the type of reaction they catalyze
Each enzyme has an official international name ending in –ase
Each enzyme has classification number consisting of four digits: EC: 2.3.4.2
First digit refers to a class of enzyme, second -to a subclass, third – to a subsubclass, and fourth means the ordinal number of enzyme in subsubclass
![Page 23: Common features for enzymes and inorganic catalysts:](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813a71550346895da269b6/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
The Six Classes of Enzymes
1. Oxidoreductases
• Catalyze oxidation-reduction reactions
- oxidases - peroxidases - dehydrogenases
![Page 24: Common features for enzymes and inorganic catalysts:](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813a71550346895da269b6/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
2. Transferases
•Catalyze group transfer reactions
![Page 25: Common features for enzymes and inorganic catalysts:](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813a71550346895da269b6/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
3. Hydrolases
•Catalyze hydrolysis reactions where water is the acceptor of the transferred group
- esterases - peptidases - glycosidases
![Page 26: Common features for enzymes and inorganic catalysts:](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813a71550346895da269b6/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
4. Lyases
•Catalyze lysis of a substrate, generating a double bond in a nonhydrolytic, nonoxidative elimination
![Page 27: Common features for enzymes and inorganic catalysts:](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813a71550346895da269b6/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
5. Isomerases
•Catalyze isomerization reactions
![Page 28: Common features for enzymes and inorganic catalysts:](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813a71550346895da269b6/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
6. Ligases (synthetases)
•Catalyze ligation, or joining of two substrates
•Require chemical energy (e.g. ATP)
![Page 29: Common features for enzymes and inorganic catalysts:](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813a71550346895da269b6/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Kinetic properties of enzymesStudy of the effect of substrate concentration on the rate of
reaction
![Page 30: Common features for enzymes and inorganic catalysts:](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813a71550346895da269b6/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
- At a fixed enzyme concentration [E], the initial velocity Vo is almost linearly proportional to substrate concentration [S] when [S] is small but is nearly independent of [S] when [S] is large
- Rate rises linearly as [S] increases and then levels off at high [S] (saturated)
Rate of Catalysis
![Page 31: Common features for enzymes and inorganic catalysts:](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813a71550346895da269b6/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
The basic equation derived by Michaelis and Menten to explain enzyme-catalyzed reactions is
Vmax[S]
vo =
Km + [S]
The Michaelis-Menten Equation
Km - Michaelis constant;
Vo – initial velocity caused by substrate concentration, [S];
Vmax – maximum velocity
![Page 32: Common features for enzymes and inorganic catalysts:](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813a71550346895da269b6/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Effect of enzyme concentration [E]
on velocity (v)
In fixed, saturating [S], the higher the concentration of enzyme, the greater the initial reaction rate
This relationship will hold as long as there is enough substrate present
![Page 33: Common features for enzymes and inorganic catalysts:](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813a71550346895da269b6/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Reversible and irreversible inhibitors
Reversible inhibitors – after combining with enzyme (EI complex is formed) can rapidly dissociate Enzyme is inactive only when bound to inhibitor
EI complex is held together by weak, noncovalent interaction
Three basic types of reversible inhibition: Competitive, Uncompetitive, Noncompetitive
![Page 34: Common features for enzymes and inorganic catalysts:](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813a71550346895da269b6/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Competitive inhibition
•Inhibitor has a structure similar to the substrate thus can bind to the same active site
•The enzyme cannot differentiate between the two compounds
•When inhibitor binds, prevents the substrate from binding
•Inhibitor can be released by increasing substrate concentration
Reversible inhibition
![Page 35: Common features for enzymes and inorganic catalysts:](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813a71550346895da269b6/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Competitive inhibition
Benzamidine competes with arginine for binding to trypsin
Example of competitive inhibition
![Page 36: Common features for enzymes and inorganic catalysts:](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813a71550346895da269b6/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
• Binds to an enzyme site different from the active site
• Inhibitor and substrate can bind enzyme at the same time
•Cannot be overcome by increasing the substrate concentration
Noncompetitive inhibition
![Page 37: Common features for enzymes and inorganic catalysts:](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813a71550346895da269b6/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Uncompetitive inhibition
•Uncompetitive inhibitors bind to ES not to free E
•This type of inhibition usually only occurs in multisubstrate reactions
![Page 38: Common features for enzymes and inorganic catalysts:](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813a71550346895da269b6/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Irreversible Enzyme Inhibition
Irreversible inhibitors
•group-specific reagents
•substrate analogs
•suicide inhibitors
very slow dissociation of EI complex
Tightly bound through covalent or noncovalent interactions
![Page 39: Common features for enzymes and inorganic catalysts:](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813a71550346895da269b6/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Group-specific reagents
–react with specific R groups of amino acids
![Page 40: Common features for enzymes and inorganic catalysts:](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813a71550346895da269b6/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Substrate analogs
–structurally similar to the substrate for the enzyme -covalently modify active site residues
![Page 41: Common features for enzymes and inorganic catalysts:](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813a71550346895da269b6/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
•Inhibitor binds as a substrate and is initially processed by the normal catalytic mechanism •It then generates a chemically reactive intermediate that inactivates the enzyme through covalent modification
•Suicide because enzyme participates in its own irreversible inhibition
Suicide inhibitors
![Page 42: Common features for enzymes and inorganic catalysts:](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813a71550346895da269b6/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Allosteric enzymes have a second regulatory site (allosteric site) distinct from the active site
Allosteric enzymes contain more than one polypeptide chain (have quaternary structure).
Allosteric modulators bind noncovalently to allosteric site and regulate enzyme activity via conformational changes
Allosteric enzymes
![Page 43: Common features for enzymes and inorganic catalysts:](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813a71550346895da269b6/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
2 types of modulators (inhibitors or activators)
• Negative modulator (inhibitor)–binds to the allosteric site and inhibits the action of the enzyme–usually it is the end product of a biosynthetic pathway - end-product (feedback) inhibition
• Positive modulator (activator)–binds to the allosteric site and stimulates activity–usually it is the substrate of the reaction
![Page 44: Common features for enzymes and inorganic catalysts:](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813a71550346895da269b6/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
• PFK-1 catalyzes an early step in glycolysis
• Phosphoenol pyruvate (PEP), an intermediate near the end of the pathway is an allosteric inhibitor of PFK-1
Example of allosteric enzyme - phosphofructokinase-1
(PFK-1)
PEP
![Page 45: Common features for enzymes and inorganic catalysts:](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813a71550346895da269b6/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Dephosphorylation reaction
Usually phosphorylated enzymes are active, but there are exceptions (glycogen synthase)
Enzymes taking part in phospho-rylation are called protein kinases
Enzymes taking part in dephosphorylation are called phosphatases
![Page 46: Common features for enzymes and inorganic catalysts:](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813a71550346895da269b6/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Isoenzymes - multiple forms of an enzyme which differ in amino acid sequence but catalyze the same reaction
Isoenzymes can differ in: kinetics, regulatory properties, the form of coenzyme they prefer and distribution in cell and tissues
Isoenzymes are coded by different genes
Isoenzymes (isozymes)
Some metabolic processes are regulated by enzymes that exist in different molecular forms - isoenzymes
![Page 47: Common features for enzymes and inorganic catalysts:](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813a71550346895da269b6/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
• H4: highest affinity; best in aerobic environment•M4: lowest affinity; best in anaerobic environment
Isoenzymes are important for diagnosis of different diseases
There are 5 Isozymes of LDH: H4 – heart HM3
H2M2
H3M M4 – liver, muscle
Lactate dehydrogenase – tetramer (four subunits) composed of two types of polypeptide chains, M and H
Example: lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) Lactate + NAD+ pyruvate + NADH + H+
![Page 48: Common features for enzymes and inorganic catalysts:](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813a71550346895da269b6/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
• Product of a pathway controls the rate of its own synthesis by inhibiting an early step (usually the first “committed” step (unique to the pathway)
Feedback inhibition
• Metabolite early in the pathway activates an enzyme further down the pathway
Feed-forward activation
![Page 49: Common features for enzymes and inorganic catalysts:](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813a71550346895da269b6/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Stages of metabolismCatabolismStage I. Breakdown of macromolecules
(proteins, carbohydrates and lipids to respective building blocks.
Stage II. Amino acids, fatty acids and glucose are oxidized to common metabolite (acetyl CoA)
Stage III. Acetyl CoA is oxidized in citric acid cycle to CO2 and water. As result reduced cofactor, NADH2 and FADH2, are formed which give up their electrons. Electrons are transported via the tissue respiration chain and released energy is coupled directly to ATP synthesis.
![Page 50: Common features for enzymes and inorganic catalysts:](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813a71550346895da269b6/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)

Catabolism
![Page 51: Common features for enzymes and inorganic catalysts:](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813a71550346895da269b6/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Catabolism is characterized by convergence of three major routs toward a final common pathway.
Different proteins, fats and carbohydrates enter the same pathway – tricarboxylic acid cycle.
Anabolism can also be divided into stages, however the anabolic pathways are characterized by divergence.
Monosaccharide synthesis begin with CO2, oxaloacetate, pyruvate or lactate. Amino acids are synthesized from acetyl CoA, pyruvate or keto acids of Krebs cycle. Fatty acids are constructed from acetyl CoA.
On the next stage monosaccharides, amino acids and fatty acids are used for the synthesis of polysaccharides, proteins and fats.
![Page 52: Common features for enzymes and inorganic catalysts:](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813a71550346895da269b6/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
•Compartmentation of metabolic processes permits:
- separate pools of metabolites within a cell
- simultaneous operation of opposing metabolic paths
- high local concentrations of metabolites
•Example: fatty acid synthesis enzymes (cytosol), fatty acid breakdown enzymes (mitochondria)

Pyruvate formed in the aerobic conditions undergoes conversion to acetyl CoA by pyruvate dehydrogenase complex.
Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex is a bridge between glycolysis and aerobic metabolism – citric acid cycle.
Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex and enzymes of cytric acid cycle are located in the matrix of mitochondria.

Pyruvate translocase, protein embedded into the inner membrane, transports pyruvate from the intermembrane space into the matrix in symport with H+ and exchange (antiport) for OH-.
Entry of Pyruvate into the MitochondrionPyruvate freely diffuses through the outer membrane of
mitochon-dria through the channels formed by transmembrane proteins porins.

An Overview of the Citric Acid Cycle A four-carbon oxaloacetate condenses with a two-carbon acetyl unit to yield a six-carbon citrate.
An isomer of citrate is oxidatively decarboxylated and five-carbon -ketoglutarate is formed.
-ketoglutarate is oxidatively decarboxylated to yield a four-carbon succinate.
Oxaloacetate is then regenerated from succinate.
Two carbon atoms (acetyl CoA) enter the cycle and two carbon atoms leave the cycle in the form of two molecules of carbon dioxide.
Three hydride ions (six electrons) are transferred to three molecules of NAD+, one pair of hydrogen atoms (two electrons) is transferred to one molecule of FAD.
The function of the citric acid cycle is the harvesting of high-energy electrons from acetyl CoA.
